The mazda was ~2 seconds behind the bimmer...safe enough by UK recommended standards anyway.
I don't know why the Mazda stopped anyway...I am guessing the BMW slowed and expected the Mazda to go past, not stop. There had been no "passing" points up until that point and it was only a short time that he had been following. I guess that is what freaked out the bimmer driver. He is still an a-hole - he could have just waved him by!
